Hi,
I took the old database test dump http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/newiki.sql.gz and applied the database scheme changes from updSchema.sql and updLinks.php to create a new dump which conforms with our current database scheme, so that new hackers have something to play with. Where can I upload it?

Well, the file release section of the sourceforge site sounds like a great place! You might need someone with appropriate permissions to induct you into the secret society of people who can upload, though. Magnus?
Also; I've added a history-import mode for the conversion script, so you can take just the old usemod page histories and plunk them into the live database:
php -q convertWiki2SQL.php --history
This does not create a newiki.sql file, but goes straight to the database. wikiLocalSettings.php thus should be appropriately configured. (I've also changed it to use the $wikiLanguage variable that's set there for determining the language properties, and automatically include the table setup commands from wikipedia.sql into the newiki.sql output when the --history option is not given.)
I haven't tried it on the full English database yet, so there may still be bugs.

Sorry for taking so long...
Axel, I'll need your SourceForge user name to add you to the "inner circle";)
